The UCLA Blum Center Summer Scholars program is designed to support training and field experience for graduate students focused on issues related to poverty and improved health outcomes in Latin America. Through this program, graduate students live and work in a region of Latin America and work with universities, international institutions and community organizations involved in activities focused on improving health and social conditions of local populations. Each student will be mentored both by a UCLA faculty member and a representative from the sponsoring host organization in Latin America.
